Action Man or G.I. Joe. Boys Dolls.

Here we have from left to right Jim, John and Alec. Jim was my original Action Man, he was purchased during a day trip visit to the fairly recently opened Birmingham Bull Ring Centre way back in 1966. If I remember correctly I think it was the Saturday after England won the World Cup. In which case Jim became part of my childhood on 6th August 1966. When my birthday came round I received several outfits. Each outfit came with stars / vouchers to collect to fill a card and send off for a free Action Man. A week or two later John arrived, all he came with was his boots and ID tag. Then came Christmas and more outfits and accessories arrived. This gave me enough stars to fill a second card and sent off for Alec. Sadly I soon outgrew my action men and they were packed away in a box and put in the attic. Fast forward to this afternoon some 52 years or there abouts later, out of the attic they came for a photo-shoot. NO THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE!!.. "Doll" "Looking close on Friday"
